Welcome to the Masha. Tell me whether I'm wrong or right. Easter west up or down side to side. I sit to stand and fall to fly. Of all of my impulsive plans, pop and locking salsa dance is on demand. I follow leading off the map and stop the chatter, scream happily. Welcome to the Masha. Welcome to the MASH up.

Welcome to the MASH up. Welcome to the MASH up. Welcome to the MASHA. Hey, everybody. So I used to work with this guy that was my favorite kind of work. with because among other things he was the kind of guy who if he didn't like something you could reasonably expect that he would say something like he'd stab our boss in the eye with a screwdriver or something it was great it was wonderful but that's kind of a double-edged sword because that kind of

person is exactly the kind of person who at some point says that he's going to stab his boss in the eye with the screwdriver and then we don't work together anymore it's kind of sad when you think back on it. Sean? Sean. Am I by myself here? I think we lost Sean. Something's up with Sean anyway.

Well, welcome to the mashup, folks. I'm going to keep going until Sean figures it out and gets on in here. So, first off, happy Airborne Friday, but not all happy because Saskatoon prosecutor,

that she's not allowed to wear a poppy in court. So Saskatchewan has a law explicitly saying that the Saskatchewan Remembrance Observance Act insurers employees are able to wear a poppy recognized by the Royal Canadian Legion in the workplace if they choose unless it poses a danger to health, safety, or welfare of the worker or others. Despite this, the Saskatchewan courts have said that people aren't allowed to wear poppies in there. So the courts are actually breaking the laws that they're not.

supposed to be enforcing. Well done, Saskatchewan. On the other side of it, we actually appreciate the things that you guys have been doing. Cout's 6.5. Lighter sentence sought for child abductors so he can stay in Canada. This guy tried to abduct a child, actually had the child in the car with him when the dad stopped him. and they're saying,

please give him a lighter sentence because if you actually give him the sentence that he would normally get for this egregious crime, he would be kicked out of the country. And I'm just going to go out on a limb and say, oh, there's Sean. Am I back? We usually start at 10, Sean.

Am I back? Like you can hear me and see me? I can hear you and I can see you. All right. You're welcome to mashup 183. John's late. Carry on, Tuse. Yeah.

Well, I mean, it was really weird the way you, because you were showing up, but not showing up. And I couldn't quite tell if you were here or not. It was very confusing. But we just talked about Saskatchewan and the poppies in the court, or lack thereof. And now we're talking about the later sentence sought for child abductor so that he can stay in Canada.

And I was just about to say that I don't think it's unreasonable for us to say that we should hold. aspiring immigrants to an even higher standard rather than the opposite where we say, oh, well, you know what? I mean, if we actually punish him the way the law is written, then this child abductor won't be able to stay in our country.

That's not a bad thing. So, yeah, that's the Cout 6.5, the Airborne Friday. If you guys have any community notes, send him out to us. I think I lost Sean again. So I don't know what's up with Sean. But you know what? We have a special guest here today sitting patiently in the background. So let's bring on Franco Tarasano of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

Hey man, how's it going? It's going great. How are you? I'm doing all right. Looks like I'm doing a little bit better than Sean is right now. Well, that's not necessarily saying much. But yes, yes, it's great to have you back on here. Thanks for coming on.

Yeah, no, it's always my pleasure, man. And what a busy week. Hey, like things are going nuts here in Ottawa. Well, that's exactly why we wanted you to come on and talk for a little bit. The budget. Yeah, it's a disaster. It's a disaster. You know, the banker was supposed to be better than with the numbers than the drama teacher.

But man, the government is borrowing like crazy. I mean, this year, the federal government's going to borrow what, like almost 80. billion dollars. It's absolutely nuts. You have this position now where the debt is spiraling at a control because spending is spiraling at a control. And I know a lot of your listeners and fans are out there in Alberta and the only sales tax they're paying there is the federal one. Well, every single dollar that you're now paying in federal sales tax is not going to services. It's not going to lower taxes. It's going to pay interest charges on the debt. Well, our interest charges on the debt.

I did some quick back of the napkin math. And it looks like it's just shy of $2,000 for every man, woman and child in this country per year. Yeah, I mean, it's definitely more than a thousand bucks. When I did the numbers, it was, you know, around 1,300 bucks, but, you know, very close. And think about that, folks, right? The government is taking more than $1,000 from you this year. Each person listening to this, more than $1,000 from you. that money is not going to improve health care.

It's not going to fix the roads. It's not even going to pay down the debt, right? It's just the interest charges on the government credit card, a thousand bucks plus out of your wallet going to the bond fund managers on Bay Street. Well, that's, and keep in mind that that's not just you as an adult in the workforce. If you have a baby, they're taking $1,000 from that baby. Yeah, like if you have a family of four, it's costing you $4,000. plus, right? So this is nuts. And like, look, let's cut through some of the government's spin here too, because, you know, the way that Carney wrote this budget or whoever wrote this budget, they're trying to kind of spin Canadians on this idea that they're being viscally responsible, right? That they're looking for savings in the budget. But, you know, this year, the Carney government's going to spend $581 billion. That's $38 billion more than what the government spent last year. Then the true little government spent last year.

Yeah, there you go, right? And like, look, every single year the government is spending billions and billions and billions of dollars more. So, like, how are you saving money whenever year you spend more and more? Well, I mean, they're changing. Well, the messaging is changing a little bit. And they're coming up with some new fancy words. They're basically, they're self-identifying the debt as investment. And thinking that that's magically going to change it on on any sort of a balance sheet or

anything like that. And then the other thing is now they're talking about net, uh, net debt to GDP ratio as opposed to when they used to just talk about debt to GDP ratio. And I thought that was really interesting because they're also including the pension as one of their not, not even just an asset, but a liquid asset, a current asset. Yeah. So let me talk about this because that actually hasn't really changed.

Um, I've noticed on social media, a lot of people talking about this, but the CTF, we've been calling out the federal government further budgeting spin on this net debt for years, right? Because even under the Trudeau era, so you can go back a number of years now, the government would say, oh, our net debt is good compared to other G7 countries. But of course, that's just pure spin, right? Because net debt would include the assets, subtracted from the debt within the Canada pension plan. Current assets. Right. So, so look, and, and you know, the Fraser Institute, another think tank here,

in Canada, they've done a lot of great work on this being like, well, if you actually don't cut the numbers the way the government is and you look at gross debt, because it's not like politicians are just going to raid the Canada pension plan to pay down the debt. Canada's debt compared to many other industrialized peers is actually very bad. Right. So I've noticed a lot of attention around net debt. I'm glad people are bringing it up because it is just, they're absolutely trying to spin you on that.

But like the government has been doing that for years. Like even under Trudeau, they would always talk about net debt. Well, and my understanding is that when they're comparing themselves to other countries, they're not including the subsovereign debt. And so it's not even an apples to apples comparison. Yeah. And like another thing too, right, is like when the province is getting really bad shape like Newfoundland and Labrador, well, guess who bails them out?

The federal government, right? So you're absolutely right to bring that in. You know, another thing that happened as well is instead of balancing the budget, the Carney is now talking about balancing the operating budget, right? But like you're not balancing anything if you're borrowing tens of billions of dollars every single year, right? All this additional spending, because it is borrowed, you are still paying debt interest on all of this spending, right? And it's not like any of this is happening in a vacuum. We just had the last 10 years where the government completely broke the bank, doubling the debt.

So it's not like the government has been running up all these surpluses, you know, in a good, financial shape that now the government can start spending money like crazy. It's the exact opposite. And hey, I just also want to poke some holes here in Carney talking about how spending is going to lead to all this, you know, economic activity, investments, yada, yada, yada. This is exactly what Trudeau sold Canadians on. Like, if you remember back in 2015 when he was first elected, Trudeau said he was going to run these modest little deficits and then balance the budget in 2019.

He said, right? Yeah. very set in stone. And even Trudeau back in 2015 said the government was going to invest in infrastructure to grow the economy. So everything we're hearing from Carney, it's not new. It's a rehash of the last 10 years of the failed social experiment. Forgive me for hopping in here, gentlemen. Yeah, thanks for joining us, Sean. Ladies and gentlemen, we're now joined by Sean Newman of the Sean Newman podcast.

Thanks for coming on. Hey, good to be good. Thanks for having me here today, guys. I was curious, Franco, and maybe your guys already hash this out. But, you know, with the federal budget, was there anything that stuck out to you? I mean, like, other than the price tag that was in there that you think people should know about, you're like, look at where they're putting all this money or look at where they're not putting the money. I got one real quick, and then I'm sure Franco has dozens. But $8 million for government-funded climate fiction.

Isn't that nice? Yes, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've got a bunch in here. I'll go through a couple. So one is $100 million for the FIFA soccer World Cup, right? A hundred million bucks. Like the government is broke,

but somehow it thinks it has $100 million for the FIFA World Cup. Another one, you might have seen this, but it's an extra $150 million to the CBC. Yeah. Right? The CBC already cost taxpayers more than a billion dollars a year. And Carney is going to dump another $150 million to the CBC.

Now, the government in the budget also said it's going to, work with the CBC to explore Eurovision. Like I'm pretty sure, isn't that like a Will Ferro movie? Didn't they do like a whole movie about Eurovision back in the day? I didn't see it, but I know he did one. Yeah, there's, there's $40 million for a youth climate core. $528 million for women and gender equality.

There's $395 million going out the door through the Department of Canadian Heritage for like, you know, the arts, telefilm. and a journalist slush fund. So, you know, before this budget, Carney's trying to frame this as like austerity. I mean, it would be about time that we'd see some government austerity here in Canada. But I mean, no, this is a big spending, big borrowing, big debt budget. 11 million for holiday event coordination.

This is nuts. And, hey, Sean, can I jump in on one of the questions you asked me about, like, what is something that stuck out other than the price tag? It's actually Carney's commitment to the industrial carbon tax. And I think this will be really interesting to you guys and a lot of your listeners because I think we're going to get a real big fight with the federal government and the Alberta and Saskatchewan governments coming up soon here, right? So the consumer carbon tax, the one that you saw, you know, on your home heating bill,

but he's doubling down with the industrial carbon tax. It seems like he's going to keep increasing it every year for the foreseeable future. But where the fight happens now is because in Saskatchew, Scott Moe got rid of the industrial carbon tax and he said Saskatchewan is going to be a carbon tax free province. The only one that is. Daniel Smith, the plenary of Alberta, she said she's going to freeze the industrial carbon tax.

Now, that doesn't go full, like nearly far enough. Like, I don't know why the Alberta government wants to have an industrial carbon tax. That makes absolutely no sense. But I think there's going to be a big fight between Ottawa and the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan on Carney's industrial carbon tax. Well, I mean, it's kind of a story as old as time out here in Western Canada, as you I'm sure well know, right? Being originally from out here is that stuff that plays well for Eastern votes ends up kicking Western Canada in the junk. Yeah, screw the West.

We'll take the rest, right? Wasn't that an old campaign saying? That was Pierre, or, yeah, Pierre Trudeau, who said that. Tuse, did you get to Anita and Ann? Yeah, yeah, we talked about the net debt. Yeah. But you talked about her saying we got a triple A credit rating? Yes, which actually, Franco, you could probably expand on this.

My understanding is that the credit rating is based entirely on self-reported numbers. Well, so, okay, so a couple things though, right? I don't know if you guys saw this, but Fitch, another rating agency who I think rated the government of Canada's position at AA. Just put out a big warning yesterday. I don't know if you guys saw this, but yesterday afternoon. Yeah, Fitch, and I just shared it on X last night, but Fitch said that persistent fiscal expansion and a rising debt burden have weakened

Canada's credit profile and could increase rating pressure over the medium term. Federal finances run a high risk of further deterioration. So this is one of the, you know, one of the more credible credit rating agencies. They put out this report following the budget essentially being like, folks, you've got to get your act together or there's going to be some real, real bad news down the road. And, you know, why these ratings matter is because it can, it can really influence how expensive it is for the government to borrow money. Right. So you get these pressures from these rating agencies. If you get credit downgrades, it can make borrowing more expensive.

And at the beginning of the show, we talked about the fact that like the federal government is already wasting more money on interest charges than what it sends to the provinces and health care transfers. Well, I mean, you could really get a snowball effect here where pressure externally essentially massively increases dead interest charges and blows a huge hole in the federal budget. And in which case they need to borrow more, in which case the credit gets downgraded further. And it keeps repeating itself because the interest rate that we. pay on our debt is tied to the credit rating, right? Oh, it certainly is influenced that, you know, how good these credit rating agencies think that the government's position is. But like, you know what I always say?

The number one threat to a government bureaucrats paycheck is not ideology. It's not the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. It's interest charges on the debt. And the proof of that is look at what happened in Saskatchewan in the 90s, right? under an NDP government in Saskatchewan. Interest charges got so at a hand that you have the Saskatchewan government under the NDP having to close down what? Dozens of hospitals across the Perry province?

There you go. Right? So this is like the big problem. And I'm always saying like, guys, like the time to put out the fire is when you see the smoke. It's not when your entire kitchen is engulfed in flames. I would agree. Is that glitching out on my side? No, Franco looks pretty good to me.

Okay, so here. Well, always does. That guy's sharp as hell. So I just want to point out a couple interesting tweets. One, here's this guy saying, I agree 100% with Mark Carney's budget. I will read it when it's released. This is what we deal with. And then here's another one.

Okay, Carney needs to sit Canadians down and explain how inflation and basic economics works. He should ask for 20 minutes from the networks because Pierre's lies about inflation and government spending need to be corrected. Too many Canadians believe his lies. What is the relation between inflation and government spending? Franco, could you explain that to us? Well, let me just first say that Mr. Poliyev was absolutely right on the money, like right when COVID was happening, right? I think you might have been the first to say, like, look, the government money printing, these massive deficits is what's going to lead to inflation. And he was right.

Like that's why we had a 40 year high, right? Like, look, since the beginning of time, you have supply shocks, right? Like, let's just say a refinery goes down. And then certain prices change because if the level of money in society is the same, if one price goes up, other prices will go down as demand shifts. The only thing that leads to a steady, higher general price increase is money printing, is the expansion of the money supply. Okay.

So how government spending and inflation works, like general price inflation, everything getting more expensive, the same that we saw in 2022, 22, 23, 24 is the money printer. That's what makes it happen. Okay. So government spending is definitely inflationary when the Bank of Canada, Canada Central Bank or the Federal Reserve in the U.S. prints up new dollars to finance Ottawa debt, Ottawa or the government's deficits. Okay. And that happens with a click of a keypad where a central bank creates new money by purchasing a financial asset like a government bond. Okay. So the more dollars that the central bank prints, the less that your dollars buy. And you can think of it this way, right? A central bank with a click of a key pack can create a new dollar at a thin air by buying a government bond. Well, you can't print up more of what money buys, right?

You can't print up more farmland. You can't print up more gasoline and diesel that you put in your car. You can't print up more apples at the grocery store. So essentially, the government is what creates this perfect storm of inflation, which is too many dollars chasing too few goods. Well put. Did that kind of make sense, guys? Is there anything in there that I went a little bit too far down the road?

So where government's spending is, inflationary is when it's when it is the central bank printing money to finance the deficit by purchasing financial assets like a government debt or government bond, sorry. Oh, I thought that was perfect. Like I, I kind of brush on things like this real quick and just breeze past them. But, you know, we've got a master's in economics sitting across from us. I thought this was a perfect example or perfect opportunity to get somebody to explain it in a way that I probably,

definitively don't do nearly as well. I feel, I keep, I've been in and out of this conversation so many times. I don't know when to exit Franco out. So twos, I'm waiting on you to be like, if there's anything else we need Franco to talk on before.

Well, how about that? If there is anything else we need Franco to talk on, what do you got for us? Yeah, let me, let me just add here because you probably see some of the headlines in the news, like the government is finding savings,

right? Or like the government, is laying off bureaucrats or firing bureaucrats. Okay, so first of all, look, the government needs to cut spending, right? None of this like, oh, we're going to restrain spending. We're going to control spending. No, no, no. The time for the scalpel was like six years ago.

We need a chainsaw. We need government spending to go down. Okay, the government added 100,000 extra bureaucrats in 10 years. And you know what? In 2015, it's not like there was a bureaucrat shortage in Ottawa, right? The federal government was too bloated in 2015. then Trudeau hired what, like 100,000 bureaucrats. So the government should have fired tens of thousands of bureaucrats a year ago.

Okay. And what the Carney is doing is, is saying he's going to find $50 billion of savings. Guess what? All of those savings happen in future years, right? The government is saying, oh, our diet will start Monday. Well, I mean, they- Monday never comes.

Yeah. They canceled the two billion trees planting. thing. That's one of the announcements they made. Now, I can't remember the exact number. It was either 300 or 600 million they'd spent to date on it already. Oh, I can't remember off the top of my head. Another one, too, which is actually a good move. It's a decent move. It's a step in the right direction. But again, all in future years, right? They're saying, we'll do all the hard work down the road. It's the same what Trudeau said, right? We'll balance the budget down the road. We'll cut spending down the road. That never happened, right? Monday never comes. But you know, one thing,

I'll talk about this and then you guys can kick me out. But look, one thing Carney says is I believe he said he's going to bring foreign aid back down to pre-pandemic levels. And that is a step in the right direction, right? All of it's happening in future years. But let me just point this out, right? In the last year where data is available, the federal government spent $11 billion on foreign aid. Okay. The government spent almost twice as much on foreign aid as it did through the entire department

of Veterans Affairs. And I would say that's the government's priorities. One of the worst things about it too, I would say, is that a lot of it goes to a bunch of countries whose sovereign debt is significantly lower, either

as a whole or per capita than Canada. Like if anything, we should be getting foreign aid from China and Nigeria, not the other way around. Well, you know, let's just start by not spending 8,800 hundred bucks on a sex toy show in Germany.

That's fair. Who's Jesus is this? That might be a start. Let's just start there. I don't know. You're talking about common sense, government spending. Yeah, but that's the problem is when it comes to government spending, these guys don't have a safe word.

Well done, too, well done. Franco, thanks for hopping on with us and giving us a breakdown of the federal budget and the insanity that continues to ensue here in Canada. appreciate you giving us some time this morning. Your time is always appreciated. But you guys never plug your podcast when you come on here. Oh, okay. Yeah.

I mean, we've got a couple different shows now. Best place to find all of our stuff is on any of the podcast apps. Just type in Canadian Taxpayers Federation or check us out on YouTube. Again, just type in Canadian Taxpayers Federation. And hey, fellas, I just want to say thanks for having me on. And I hope you guys have a great weekend. Thanks, you too.

Yes. Thanks, guys. All right. Let's see if we can't get this on. Like, I feel like somebody is messing with me. I've just had, you know, you know how this goes to this. The morning's going smooth. Got everything. I feel like I caught up with twos is putting in 700 articles.

I'm feeling great, folks. You probably did. But I appreciate your optimism. Yes. And then everything just decides to distract on me. I'm like, okay, get back on. Destructs again. I'm like, all right.

This is going to be mashup 183. Challenge accepted. Tews. How about we get on? some rapid fire news. Is that fair? Have I skipped over something? Because you've got to tell me you've been the captain of this ship at the start,

which is a dangerous thing to allow folks. But so be it. Captain 2 is at the helm today. The one thing we have not mentioned so far yet today is that if you're enjoying this, please like it, share it, and tell people about this show. Yeah. All right. But yeah.

If you're along for the old Titanic, we're rolling. along hitting everything that's out in the big, wide open today. Share it along. Have some fun with us, would you? Okay, let's start here. London, Ontario, eight men were charged in a police sting trying to obtain sexual services from a child. All eight of them have already been released on bail.

Sing with me. Sing for the years. Sing for the laughter. Sing for the tear. Yeah. Here's a list of them. Yep, go ahead. Well, here's the list of them.

22, oh man, 22 year old, 31 year old, 34 year old, 27 year old, 31 year old, 31 year old, 27 year old, 28 year old. A tar, admihollic, Rall, Kanani, Tuali, Singh, Siddall, sing. Yep. Yeah, so there's that. And then the next one we have here is Ford's considering scrapping the electric version of the F-150. It's a damn shame. I mean, they've got all this market demand. Everybody wants to buy them.

They're profitable without government subsidies. And they have all these factories ready to go. And yet, despite all of this, they're considering scrapping these. I don't even know. It's almost as though what we're being told by the companies that build these things isn't lining up with what we're being told by the politicians, Sean. In October the first month since the end of the federal EV tax credit, Ford's overall EV sales in the U.S. fell 24% from a year earlier.

Ford dealers sold 66,000 gas-powered F-series pickups, an uptick from a year earlier, and just 1,500 lightnings, the fewest of any model. So you can see they're staring at that going, oh, no government subsidies, oops. We're going to have a specific factory dedicated to building 1,500. vehicles.

Nah, that's not going to happen. 1,500. And keep in mind, keep in mind that a bunch of those were bought by government because the government's like, oh, we're going to support this. So for example,

I know that the city of Calgary has a whole ton of them in their fleet. So, you know, you multiply that by, I don't know, 10, 12 major urban areas. That's just about the entire, that's just about every,

single vehicle that got sold was bought by the government. Why the St. Thomas Battery Plant has a $400 million water problem. Officials say the massive electric vehicle battery plant under construction near St. Thomas will require about 400 million in upgrades to the local water system across municipal water supplier says can't be covered without help from the Ontario government Volkswagen or a massive increase in rate pairs running at full capacity. It's supporting industries would consume about half the 91 million liters of treated Lake Erie Water provided every day by the local water supply.

Andrew Henry, Director of Regional Water, said for the area's water supply system, the original water use forecast plant. The plant was supposed to take 13 million liters a day and amount that has now since jumped to 20 million liters a day. Yeah, and it's supporting industries would consume about half of the 91 million liters of treated Lake Erie water provided every day by the local water system. This battery plant is going to consume 40 million liters of water per day. Do you remember back in the day when when there was all the protests around all the pipeline construction? And what did they call themselves, Sean? They called them water protectors. We're not protesters. We're water protectors. We care about the water. The water is super important.

Okay, all right, fair enough. Now, the EV battery plant is going to consume 40 million liters of clean water a day. Crickets. Crickets. And not even just regular natural crickets. Crickets from the government paid factory of crickets. Gunshots ring out at BC ostrich farm as coal moves ahead. The Supreme Court of Canada has announced earlier that it will not hear a final appeal against the cull by the farm's owner.

that lifted an elite oh man that lifted in any legal impediment to the killing of the flock that the c f i says consists of 300 330 birds uh here is uh dray humphrey of rebel this picture is devastating yep look at that now one of the stipulations for uh killing animals is that you're supposed to do it humanely. And you just look at that. There's all these ostriches scattered around that entire pen. And they all got shot. Now, first off, I don't even know where you'd start with trying to get a clean shot at an ostrich

because, I mean, a head shot's a bit tricky. And I imagine that it's mostly wings and legs. And that, you know, fighting the engine room on that thing's. going to be pretty difficult. So, you know, how many of those shots were kill shots? That's what I'd like to know. How many of those birds lying in there have more than one gunshot wound? And also, have you ever tried petting up an entire flock of animals and killing them all one by one?

I don't see that as being a stress-free environment. Guaranteed not. guaranteed. Oh, absolutely not. I remember one time, a flock of sparrows flew into the chick coop through the door,

like the little chicken door. And I used to get 25 cents a sparrow. So I go in to feed the chickens. And there's no chickens in the chicken coop and it's all sparrows. I'm like, whoo, gold mine,

close the door, close that chicken coop door, run into the house, grab my pallet gun, run back out. and I eradicated sparrows on the farm. But here's the thing, is that they were not... They weren't too happy about that?

No, no. They were actually quite upset about the entire ordeal and tried very, like a couple of them managed to squeeze through a crack in the door kind of thing. Like, they were doing everything they could to get the hell out of there. It was not a humane way to do it. You know, now for a 10-year-old looking down the barrel of getting 25 cents spous, Barrow is a really good idea. But they were pretty stressed out at the end there.

And I don't imagine these ostriches were any different. No, I would think not. And so, yeah. Lisa Ferguson's comments wasn't humane, well over 700 shots, and someone on the highway almost got hit by a stray bullet on a live. Really? That's interesting.

So what's the first rule of shooting? shooting a gun. Don't shoot towards people? Yeah. Be aware of your target and beyond. Yeah, that's pretty basic. And also I would say that here's the thing is they were so intent on on doing this under the auspice of darkness and everything like that. First off, it's going to be hard to see everything. And secondly, if you were going to do that, you'd probably want to do it from an elevated position so that you would be shooting downwards towards the ostriches rather than upwards. But they, didn't they had to do it as clandestinely as possible and so choices were made do we do this

humanely or do we do this in a way that um hides what we're doing from the cameras more Canadian natural gas headed to Europe as a term termline ink's supply deal with British gas owner the contract will see Termaline deliver 50,000 or 50 million 50,000 50,000 million British thermal units per day. Oh, read that out, Sean. The equivalent of five liquefied natural gas cargoes a year to Centrica, beginning in April of 2028, the company said Wednesday.

Yes. So apparently, um, there is a, a case for LNG exports. Shocking. Shocking. Shocking. Oh, and Lori says, uh, they did have to raise booths at the end for the assassins. So, yeah, I guess I might have been slightly wrong in that, I mean, I couldn't tell from

the picture, but that's what I would have wanted to do. Chavlin Vincent. Chauvelin Vincent Peters wanted on a province wide arrest warrant. Yes. Actually, we have additional mugshots of him. Here's, here's the second picture of, oh, stop clicking things. this is so they're never going to catch this guy I guarantee you

he is 50 steps ahead of them right now and is probably going to steal the moon only knows how to find the humor in today's crazy crazy world I'm wrong Toronto real estate prices slip further weak sales meet record

inventory Yeah. So again, Toronto prices are plummeting. The average prices are down over $200,000 over the last couple of years. Did you get, I might have thrown it in and you didn't see it, but the cloned meat? Yeah, yeah. I actually had listeners text me about this. I thought it was lab grown meat. And so I couldn't find anything on it, but it's not lab grown. It's canned a quietly clears cloned meat to be sold. with no labeling in in the supermarkets, in the grocery stores.

Yes. Now, it's funny because they wanted to have, remember back in the day, I think we talked about it with QDM, where they wanted to have beef labeled as being, I don't know, cause of heart attacks or something like that. Yes, a while back, yep. Yeah. Where's the health concern on? this.

We're just going to have cloned meat and we're not going to say anything. It seems like a pretty standard op from our government, doesn't it? Yeah. Yeah. This is like how you'll see on snacks sometimes the really fine print is that it contains a source of

alternative protein or something like that. Which means it's made with crickets. Yeah. Alberta's AUPE nursing care members have overwhelmingly backed a strike with 98% of 16,000 voting in favor, while a strike notice could be issued on November 17th. Further negotiations are planned, member sites stagnant wages and unsafe conditions. Yeah. That's a really interesting way to put it.

You're going to go on strike because of unsafe conditions. If something is unsafe in the workforce. you have this obligation. It's sometimes called it right to refuse unsafe work, but essentially it's an obligation. If you're being asked to do something that's unsafe, you are required to not fucking do it. You don't just keep doing it

and then bring it up when the next contract negotiation comes up. You shut that shit down and you get it fixed and figured out. Anybody who's spent more than 10 minutes in the O'O field knows this. inside a note. And so, yeah, it lacks credibility. Over 5,000 researchers oppose order to share 25 years of federal grant applicant data. It went on, one of the quotes was, five years is too short to identify real trends.

By analyzing 25 years of data, we obtain a much more complete and reliable view of the evolution, which allows us to distinguish between occupations, occasional fluctuations and fundamental changes, uh, block, uh, Quebec, MP Maxine Blanchette, uh, vice president of the committee said in an emailed statement, thousands of academics who signed the open letters say they feel targeted and that

the committee has become an arena to wage a battle against equity, diversity and inclusion in research. Yeah, that's kind of the point. That's exactly it. And when universities only hire people who check at minimum, one of these boxes, of course, DEI people are going to feel targeted because they're the only ones in the industry.

If you do anything regarding that industry, it's targeting the BIPOC community. They're the only ones left. When the layoffs end up happening at the federal level, guess who's going to be disproportionately affected? Women, people of color, and LGBTQ people. right but they're not going to be disproportionately affected within the demographic of the public sector because that is the whole public sector at this point that's who they hired they specifically we've seen it time and again say preference will be given to dot dot dot dot and this is the same thing

so them saying oh we're being targeted you're the only fuckers left in the building here's Marty up north. Last week, the government of Alberta introduced Bill 7, the Water Amendment Act. It's a routine amendment aimed at addressing growing water demands in the province through administrative and regulatory improvements. And then he went on to say, I just find it funny that they needed to revise the definition of water and still screwed it up. So they put by a look at the definition, read that definition out loud. Okay. Water means all water on or under the surface of the ground, whether in liquid or solid state and precipitation that is intercepted above the ground and captured by works.

Yeah, as in rain barrels. That's the new part. The intercepted water. So here's the thing. They added that definition. And now we need to be careful because now a little ways down the road, you're going to see what happened in plenty of the states where they're like, oh, oh, well, guess what? This is our water now.

It's not your water even though you collected it. There were a couple of things here you missed though. The Angela Pitt is facing recall legislation. And there's a whole bunch of UCP MLAs who are facing recall legislation. And it's interesting. I reached out to several people who were trying to spearhead this initiative and almost invariably have comments turned off on their posts, by the way. Not a single one would get back to me on why.

The interesting thing about this regarding Angela Pitt specifically is that no one has given a reason why this is happening. And so I invited a bunch of people on the podcast. Nothing. Nothing. Crickets? Couldn't exactly crickets. Here's the thing. They've even got a hashtag for this.

It's hashtag recall the mall. Recall the mall. hashtag recall the mall. I don't think they thought it through very well. I actually got hell from it for inviting one person on. They said if I bring outside union affiliated NDP couch potato beer, swilling pizza eaters to decide who gets to represent people, I'm going to be laughed out of the neighborhoods who wants to embarrass themselves

and associate with a corrupt NDP. All I was doing was just asking to hear their side of it. and then i got i got i got i got texts about you inviting them on i got text say acquisitive of like does does twos one angel pitto i'm like do you know who twos is i think they did too's i would have really like to have a conversation with these people i know you would i know exactly where you were going with it and i think they did too i think honestly I think to all the lovely texters and listeners of the show, they would have been entertained if they would have come on.

They would have been. Oh, that would have been great. I probably, once I got confirmation that they were going to come on, I probably would have reached out to Angela and been like, hey, do you want to come on this too? Yeah, wouldn't that be something? Yeah. That would have been something.

Say it to my face kind of thing. Yes. Here's another one. So, Abby Lewis, this guy is one of the NDP leadership candidates. he's upset that the government isn't spending enough money on things and he says that we need a public option for streaming services in Canada. Now, readers added context. Canada has a public streaming service called CBC Gem. So this NDP leadership hopeful doesn't even know that CBC Gem exists.

So, I mean, two things here. One, if this fucking guy doesn't know that CBC gem exists, I don't think their subscriber count is very high. Yeah, the CBC Jem's target audience doesn't know they exist. This is literally their wheelhouse. Correct. And the second point is that I feel as though this person perfectly encapsulates everything that NDP voters think and believe and support.

and I can think of no better candidate to represent them on the world stage than this individual. Said two is about every single NDP candidate. Do you want the poll yet, or you still got a couple else? Still got a couple else. Of course. Yukon Strong had to work. What a tire, what a tire fire mashup 183 on this side has become. Carry on two is Yukon Strong, fire away.

Yeah, Yukon Strong was going to come on. but work kept him away from this. But the Yukon party, which is the conservative party in the Yukon, has, well, a super majority. It's weird because the numbers are really small, but yeah, they've got a really strong majority. Interesting thing. I mean, we talked about this leading up to it.

The NDP only kept one of their seats. And I'm not actually even sure if that's entirely correct. I don't think they have any. I saw one that said, this one says they have one seat. and I saw other ones saying that the NDP has all of the seats that the Conservative Party doesn't have. Now, the Yukon Liberal Party didn't even run a full slate of candidates. They ran, including in ones where they were incumbent. And so it was really interesting to see the lead up to this.

And I never really understood what the hell was going on. But that's how it went. and I just want to point out, just speaking of the, oh, shoot, okay, well, maybe I can't find it real quick. Anyways, the Yukon NDP is the people who literally put out during a prior election in their, in their material that the Yukon NDP will something, something environment because the NDP aren't a serious party. and then yeah there's another clip here and then I don't know we could talk about

we could talk about the Js a little bit although it's going to come up a few different times I thought that was Dougie Ford that's the whole idea oh it's AI nobody's actually standing there with a baseball bat and a blue jay

thanks too's but yeah beauty of opposed by Chrome's body Ford to hold press conference at 10. I couldn't read it. I couldn't read what it said. That is great. That is great.

I'm here for all the Doug Ford memes. It is fantastic. Well, we've got another, we've got a couple good ones coming at you. All right. Poll. If a federal election were held tomorrow, who would you vote for? Right now, 43.4%.

yeah go to the next picture though Sean okay actually sorry go back to the first one oh no wait I light okay second one no no it's definitely the first no no it's definitely you're I'm coming through the screen and getting you all right all right well I get you start at the first one start at the first one

we'll handle it chronologically no no go back to the second Alberta has the conservatives of 44% and the liberals at 42%. Now go to the second one. If you actually go into the results of the poll, it has the conservative party of 51%

and the liberal party at 37. This is the granularity of that graph that we just looked at. That graph has a 4244 split. And then when you look at the actual math in the poll, it's 5137. Canadian polls are garbage. Sure, you don't want me to go back to the second one? Go to the third one.

Separation. David Eby just told Alberta that they will never get a pipeline through BC unless it's fully taxpayer funded and the federal government forces it through. Yeah, this is actually, it's a clip worth watching. And I don't say that very often about the NDP because they're not a serious party. But just keep in mind, I guess, that. if there was no pipeline, if there was no chance of pipeline, if no one was ever going to build a pipeline,

the easy answer for him would be to just say, have a matter if you want, but no one's going to. But why is he so dead set on stopping something that he claims doesn't exist? What is obvious to me and has yet to fully sink in for some individuals, which is that there is no pipeline project across the north. There is no route. There is no proponent. There is no financing.

Simply because the Premier of Alberta would like to get rid of the oil tanker ban on the North Coast does not mean that anybody wants to build this pipeline. It would cost $40 to $50 billion. It would require navigating a consensus at the provincial and coastal First Nations level that has a different approach to growing. our economy by developing our coast. And so I don't, I'll be blunt. I don't see any prospect of a pipeline unless it is fully taxpayer funded and the federal government forces it through over provincial and indigenous objections. So it's, it's really difficult for me to shadowbox with a non-existent project that has non-existent benefits because it will never be built and and it's not going to happen.

Then why did you come out with this big announcement that you're going to protect the coast? Because he wants to preemptively scare away potential investment. That's the thing. This is him trying to set up a guard in front of the house. All of this posturing he's doing, all of it is because he's worried about something like this. And no, no, if the private sector built it, it probably wouldn't cost 40 to 50. billion dollars given the fact that the government spent 40 billion dollars i would guess that the private sector would probably spend about four he's also urging uh we urge the federal government

to stand firm and its commitment to pull the tanker ban protecting the north coast is not an item for negotiation it is a national responsibility and it is quantifiable investment uh it is a quantifiable investment in canada's treasured marine environment and the economic prosperity of future generations Why have a tanker ban if no one's going to build a pipeline? Why do you care? And you have Marty up north had put out the Alberta NEP just to introduce Motion 501 asking all MLAs to denounce separatism and express support for national unity. Yes. They're trying, they're trying wolfly and aptly to box the UCP into saying,

Because I'm pretty sure it's probably not too crazy to think that there are likely some, if not a great many UCP MLAs who would support independence, but they're just not ready to say it openly yet. Or probably they're ready to say it openly, but it's not politically expedient to say it openly yet. And so they're trying to paint this as some evil, horrible thing. and I find it really interesting that one of the things in this motion was to urge the government to secure a better deal for Alberta within the Federation without leveraging the threat of separatism, which is basically everything that Daniel Smith and the UCP has been doing for the past several years. The only people, the only people who thought that the current deal was just fine as it was is the NDP.

They're the only ones who've been like, we don't want to go to the government and tell them to quit screwing us. over? Why are you being so mean and hostile? And now in this motion, they're literally asking for the same stuff that they've been denouncing the UCP over for literal years. The NDP, Sean, are not a serious party. We switch to elbow draggers. This has been something twos has coined over the last, I don't know, how many months has it been to's regardless. Chicken price is expected to rise by 20 to 25% over next several months. OSHA Bank cutting over 2,500 Canadian jobs. According to reports, the bank is eliminating nearly 2,500 jobs in Toronto with other positions across country, also on the chopping block.

Glencourt said to consider shutting Canada's largest copper plant. Glencore is planning to wind down its horn smelter. Canada's largest copper, metal producing plant, citing steep environmental upgrades and operational costs. Now, keep in mind that copper's gone up. something like 44% over the last several years. Copper, it's not going through the roof quite like silver and gold, but it's not cheap. So there's a lot of money to be made in mining copper.

But there's not a lot of money to be made in Canada. US becomes first country to export 10 million tons of LNG in a single month. But there's no business case for exporting LNG. Ontario Furniture Manufacturer, Holesag 2, close and relocate to U.S. up to 130 jobs will be lost as Furniture, Holesed Canada will shutter its facility in Lindsay,

Ontario, March of 2026. Yep. Yeah. Pet Brett brings up an interesting point. Will Alberta NDP also ask Quebec to give up on their separation rhetoric? No. No. And that's the thing, is that

they don't have consistent stances on any issue. Okay. Well, we're not to say anything if Quebec wants to separate, but if Alberta wants to separate, they're all a bunch of jerks. But they both want to do the same thing. Why is one a jerk and one's not? Yes. Floor crossing.

I didn't find I was represented there. It says MP, Chris Ender Tumont, as he responds to a question about his decision to leave the Conservative Party and join the caucus of the governing liberals. So this was a conservative MP. He's across the floor to the the liberals now. Yeah.

Out of Nova Scotia. Yes. This is the issue. Here's the problem. This is why this all seems to go wrong all the time. You've got a guy who, well, I mean, he literally,

here is him calling himself. Perhaps push you out of caucus. Yeah. Well, I think that's probably a part of it. Oh, actually, you know what? Okay. Listen to how this question is framed. Think about media neutrality and look at how this question is framed.

spoke of Mr. Polye from the direction he was going, but I'm just wondering whether the conservative leadership style perhaps push you at a caucus. Totally neutral question. I didn't find I was represented there. My ideals of an Easterner, of a red Tory, I mean, quite honestly, of trying to find ways to find solutions and help your community. Calls himself an East Tory, and when he says look for solutions and try to find ways to help your community, what he's really saying is free money from the government. Okay? I agree.

And this is the guy who crossed the floor. But before that, this is the guy that got picked as being the person who could win and did win in this writing. You're not picking good people. The conservative party sucks at this. They get a bunch of, well, red Tories. Look at Andrews here.

Look at Aaron O'Toole. Look at the way. Pollyev completely did an about face four or five months before the election where he just started taking marching orders from somebody that told them to tone it down rather than continue to do the thing that you're winning with. Like, think about it this way. If you're whatever, you got a specific lineup, you know, in a hockey game. And they're just scoring goal after goal.

You guys are up by, you know, not to the point where you're just going to like do some sympathy slowing things down. but you really want to hammer at home, you're not going to be like, okay, well, let's just, let's just get, let's just get Stamco's in net. You're not going to do that. And that's exactly what they did. They've got a bunch of shitty people giving bad advice.

And whenever they actually do have an opportunity to have somebody really good, they kicked them out. Remember what happened with Wyatt Claypool? They just said, actually, you know what? We changed our mind. We're not going to let you even try to be the representative. Signal Hill. And then remember Sabrina Maddow? They kicked this woman out. This woman was going to be one of their MPs in Ontario. And they kicked her out.

She's smart. She's got a huge history behind of being in front of the camera. And she's gorgeous. Look at those door knockers. But they didn't want her. But instead they get this fucking slump. Of course he walks. Of course he crosses the floor. which by the way is bullshit. I said it when Daniel Smith did it. I said it when that green MP crossed over to liberals. I said it when that chick crossed over from liberal to conservative. And I'm saying it now.

You shouldn't be allowed to cross the floor to another party. And this is, yeah, read that's off. This is why you don't hand over national comms to a 20 year old, 20 year old influencers. Okay, two months ago, Pierre Paulyab graciously hosted Chris, Don Tramont for breakfast at his official residence, Storn away. Yet this is how Chris repays him, joins the liberals, betrays the conservatives across the country, and backstabs his constituents.

Disgraceful. Are you fucking retarded? Just because somebody gives you eggs Benedict doesn't mean you owe them your lifetime allegiance. There's a million reasons why this was a bad idea and the fact that he took a stack of pancakes and some scrambled eggs and maybe a little bit of crispy bacon on the side and just ran with it and turned his back on him afterwards is not the right argument to make. No, it would be interesting is if twos ran the national comms for the conservative party.

That would be an entertaining thing to watch daily, I bet. Well, it would probably, the majority of the tweets would start off by saying, this is fucking retarded, colon. Yeah, I'm going to assume we won't. won't see that anytime in our in our lifetime but uh one can one can dream one can dream in a parallel universe Canadian politics is a lot more entertaining. Uh, conservative and conservative MP says he was resigning next spring denies coercion involved in decision. That's Emmington River Bend MP Matt Jennero. Yes. Before we get to that, uh, also Chris Donchermont

qualified for his pension two weeks ago. Of course he did. Yeah. Um, Yeah, so General, Edmonton MP, all of a sudden, everything got real cagey. He closed down his Twitter account. It was nowhere to be found. Pierre Pollyev misses out on question period yesterday. And because he missed out on question period, he didn't get to table any proposed amendments to the budget, which meant that the block got to do it. And presumably, I think the best, because there's a whole. whole lot of people saying things that, you know, could be straight bullshit.

So, like, for example, Matt Jenneru says, I want to be clear, there was no coercion involved in my decision to resign, which sounds exactly like what you would say if you're being coerced, by the way. It's a really interesting thing to just lead with. Like, hi, I'm twos, and I totally did not eat that cheeseburger in the fridge. okay i consider my colleague ate the cheeseburger in the fridge exactly exactly

it's it's like that Tucker carlson interview with the AI guy where he's like it sounds like you're accusing me of having him killed this is exactly this all over again I want to be clear there was no coercion involved in my decision to resign I consider my colleagues in the conservative party very close friends and I will miss them dearly

since my resignation this evening I had a great conversation with pierre polyev who wished me all the best as I do him. Sounds like they hate each other's fucking guts. I ran under his leadership and hopes we could form a government that would offer hope to Canadians.

I wish him and my colleagues all the best as they continue to raise cost living issues facing Canadians. To reiterate this longstanding decision, motherfucker, you hadn't even won the election six months ago.

There's nothing longstanding in this decision. This longstanding decision reflects my desire to spend more time with my family. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, there it is. We got a bingo. Everybody drink. I'm resigning to spend more time with my family. Dudes, what, like 32?

You're not at a point in your life where you're just deciding to retire, okay? My exact date of departure will still be determined at a later day, but likely this spring. Tews is going to put on his conspiracy theory hat. the best fitting explanation for everything that happened here. Polyev missing question period in a very fucking important question period. This guy locking his account down earlier on in the day. And then saying that he's not crossing the floor. He's resigning and he's not being coerced.

Here's probably what happened. He's like, yeah, I'm going to go across the floor to the liberals. And then Pollyev said, okay, cool. Just one sec here. Brings up his phone. Hey, I got you on, you're on a speaker call. And here's the CEOs of like every major lobbying firm and a whole bunch of other stuff. I just want you to know that none of these guys will ever hire you for anything.

And that they will make sure that you have no future at all in politics at all whatsoever. So enjoy the gravy train with the liberals while it lasts because the second it's done, you're going to be turning big rocks into small rocks for the rest of your fucking life. And then, oh, and by the way, no matter what you decide, you're not a conservative MP anymore. Now, that's what I'm guessing happened. This is beautiful. This is poetic. Sherry de novo.

So there was a few of these that popped up where people were creating fake floor crossing things. And they all got scooped up. And they were all kind of based on memes and stuff. but Sherri de novo, who's like this rank socialist idiot, she bought into this hookline and sinker. And so the Pierre-Poliev era ends, not with a bang, but with a floor crossing or two or three. Here's the tweet.

Breaking. Another conservative Nova Scotia MP, Randall Leahy from Sunnyvale J. Rock, writing, has announced they will cross the floor to the Liberal Party. How many pepperoni sticks do you think it took to convince him across the floor? Hey, smokes, let's go. He probably just wanted to leave. Shit on you.

Who? Shit, hawks. Big dirty shit. Shit. Well played. Well played. And Amir Hart, wherever you are, well, dragged in some of the stupidest people.

Oh, man. The country has to offer. trailer pork boys live on um okay drivers let's switch to drivers too yeah first you got uh toronto you got the tronal police video yeah i assume you're gonna show this yeah i got uh i got kind of caught up i'm doing something a little bit different uh here this week but uh so here is the got this guy down on the ground. And,

well, maybe we could have a little bit of sound. Now, he's down on the ground because he just got tased. Dude gets out of the car to stop him. He forgets to put the car in park and the car drives over top of him. Oh, and then

it gets work. Because in his effort to get the vehicle clear, he forgot to put it in reverse and just dragged and rolled over top of this poor sack of ship. What do you even say? I don't even know if I could say anything to that.

Hey, I'm just assuming diversity hire. A girl eight dead after being struck by an SUV in Oakville. Here's, look at this picture. This is her scooter. She was on the sidewalk with her mom. Or dad, I think it was her mom. And this vehicle just decided to leave the road drove over her,

killed her, and the police hadn't picked up that scooter yet, and there's a picture of that girl's scooter. She died. No name released. And then a body of a second victim in fatal Brampton crash only discovered once car was in the Peel police impound lot. So this was a ride sharing.

this was like Uber or Lyft or whatever. Correct. And the car got T-boned. The driver is charged with dangerous driving, causing death, and failure to comply with demand. No name release, but he's 17. So hours after the collection, police received reports of a missing 20-year-old woman whose last location was confirmed through our shared tracking app as the crash site. Officers simultaneously checked the crash scene and attended the impound yard to determine whether evidence of a passenger existed.

Officers closely examined the rear passenger compartment of the demolished Honda Civic and located the remains of the deceased woman embedded in the wreckage. This car got T-boned so fucking hard that they didn't even know how many people were in it. And it wasn't until the woman got reported missing that they're like, well, you know what? maybe we need to take another look in that vehicle. And yeah, sure enough, this thing got so mangled that it was hiding an entire corpse and nobody noticed. Yeah. And you got, oh, shoot, that's me. Here's the next one.

So we talked about this before the guy who was suspected of being high on meth. Apparently that charge has been dropped. So in Jasin-Preet's truck crash scene, they claimed he was intoxicated while driving. And that's been rescinded by the San Bernardino district attorney, the attorney after a toxicology report. And then somebody else jumped in and they said, this cannot be negligence. This is intentional.

Sikhs will be thrown under the bus in North America to appease the growing fanatical, racist rhetoric, prominent in politics and social media. And then whatever this means, I don't know, Guru Ang, Sang, Sang, at G. I don't think it's weird for me to notice that religious head covering seem to affect your ability to shoulder check.

maybe some this almost could go in the happy news uh i was i was this next article not that one um yeah i was i was wondering if it could go in the happy news too i'm i'm looking do we got a well you know on this show folks we love a good heist okay so here it is okay this this might be one of the best i've seen yet a man walking home from a bar got the shock of his life when a massive moose charged straight into an ATM shattering it open and sending thousands of dollars flying through the air. Security footage shows the man wearing a hood rushing over and scooping up more than $200,000

in cash before sprinting off into the night. Just imagine that. You're just walking home from the bar a little bit tipsy. Probably had a good evening. And all of a sudden out of nowhere, a moose

runs right in front of you, smashing into an ATM, and it just starts spitting out dollar bills. Yes. I mean, who would ever think to make an ATM moose proof? Like they've done all these things because everyone's tried everything. You know, they'll wrap chains around them and drag them out. You know, I used to work with this one guy who said that, you know,

because they have GPSs on them. They basically, him and some friends stole one an ATM once. And then they had it in the back of the truck and they kept on moving. and they got the box open and took all the money out and then kept on driving and threw it over one of the bridges northeast of Lloyd. There's all these different things that people have done to break into ATMs. But I don't know if they've actually gone and considered what happens if the animal wants some money. The locals are calling it the most Montana heist ever.

I think it's great. That is one for the ages. All right. If that wasn't in goofy news, here's some goofy coming at you. Okay, Manitoba passed Bill 48, allowing the detention of highly intoxicated individuals to be detained for up to 72 hours. A reporter from APTN asked if this was appropriate given some people having had trauma from residential schools. Well, that's exactly yet. Just think about the racist assumptions being made here.

Great question. We've been working very closely with the medical experts. And of course, they've been guiding us right along the way. And as you know, Ipda's been running, you know, we're looking at expanding this, given what we've been seeing with substance use right across our province. And this is the support and meet people where they're at and to keep our community and safer. So thank you for that question. Here it comes.

Thank you. And my follow up is, how will you make sure you are not retramatizing people with this 72-hour detox, a population we know widely struggles with past experiences of powerlessness and confinement through the residential school systems. They're saying we are going to detain and detox anybody caught high on drugs. If you're a homeless guy who's strung out on something, we are going to take you and we're going to put you in a detox facility. And then the reporter says, well, yeah, but how do you reconcile this with the issues

they've had with residential schools? You're the only one making this connection. It's only, I don't know. Do you not see that? Just the racism isn't on this side, guys. Here is a metaphor, a great metaphor, summing up the current state of Tim Hortons. This was yesterday in Stephenville, Newfoundland. Yes.

So there's, for those of you listening along, the big signpost for Tim Horton's fell over and landed on a car. We got Marty up north again back out. No, no, no, no. Just before you get to that. Oh, one before. All right. What do you got for?

Well, I think you're going to like this. Try to guess what company they're from and might be a tough one. but let's give it a try. This company is a leader in the Canadian snacking market with some of the most popular treats in the country. Well, this is probably an unfair competition. I think I've hit every single chocolate company around. Look at the size of this.

Doug Ford's doing another video where he's eating a bunch of fucking food. And it just, it never ends with this guy. It never ends with this guy. I hope he doesn't do anything else stupid this week. Marty up north, a veteran is someone who transitioned from military life in the Canadian Armed Forces to civilian life. Canada has 375,000 veterans of all ages. Thank you for your service. I just find this chart funny. An X in a cell indicates the data is suppressed to meet the confidentiality requirements of statistics act.

Can you guess how many women ages 19 to 29 are veterans? And if you show it. Yeah, so here's, so they need to, according to government regulations, that X means that the number needs to be hidden. And so they have men at 5,641, total at women at X. Unknown. And total veteran in that demographic, 6,326. So to solve for X, you subtract 5,641 from 6,326. This is literally the easiest math problem that you could do. It's like the first thing you learn is addition and subtraction.

And despite that, they're like, no, no, no, the regulations say we need to hide this number. Yep, our government brilliantly at work. Rare genetic disorder causes Portuguese boy to wreak of dead fish every time he eats seafood. Just imagine. Just imagine you're from a coastal country. And every time you eat seafood, you smell like rotten garbage. This is, the world is a vast and bizarre place full of all kinds of interesting things. Rotten fish gets its distinctive smell from a molecule called trimethlamine.

And the human body produces trimethylamine from nitrogen-rich foods such as fish. An enzyme called flavin-containing mono-oxygenus three breaks down trimethylene in the body, changing it to an odorless compound, trimethylene an in oxide. But if the enzyme isn't working as it should, trimethylene accumulates in the body, it can make a person produce a foul, rotten smelling fish aroma. So he's just missing this one enzyme. And that's it. And because of that, he smells like rotten fish.

A dog in Alberta. Phoebe the Pug has earned over 200 certifications, including a boating license, defensive driving certificate, and now Alberta's pro server, pro serve liquor staff training using AI.

She can now legally work as a bartender.

I don't think this is the first time I've said this, but we should probably make it a little bit more difficult to get a driver's license in this country. Study compares heart risks of COVID-19 infection and vaccination. And the results may surprise you. Look, I get the fact that you guys have to do whatever the fuck you can to get anybody to click on anything to do with COVID, but and the results may surprise you headline went out of style like eight years ago. Okay.

Also, it says that, well, it's heavily obfuscated and just very obtuse. But the risks of myocarditis from the vaccination is smaller than the risks from not being vaccinated. Despite the fact that we got told it was 100% safe by Pfizer itself and by Justin Trudeau and by a great number of people. They're saying that while there are myocarditis risks, that they are smaller than the risks of not getting vaccinated. Bullshit. Yes. Well, I mean, if they've already changed the story once, how many more times are they going to change the story? I don't think anybody who isn't vaccinated yet is going to read this and be like, oh, actually, you know what?

If they got it figured out, maybe I will. Maybe I will. Right. Like, I'm not going to go tomorrow. Yeah. Although I kind of want to just because it would be hilarious. Venue of $10 million. Think about it.

Like, after all of that shit and all that coercion. Tuse walks in rolls it up and says you got me you got me well no and now they're like okay it's voluntary and if you want it you can pay a hundred bucks and I'm like see that's the kind of thing I wanted here in the first place yeah I'll I'll get the vaccination now please that's all you had that's all you had to do just quit being jerks about it I mean I'm not going to because I don't want to have heart disease but it would be pretty funny sure I don't see the huge I don't know maybe I maybe I'm dense today venue of 10 million dollar skills development Fund recipient, partners now as licensed as an adult entertainment club.

The Doug Ford Ontario Conservatives spent $10 million at a strip club. They gave a grant to this building for $10 million. And then now it's reimagined.

I know you can. For her children's. One of the monkeys that escaped last week, we covered this after a truck overturned on a Mississippi highway, was shot and killed earlier Sunday by a woman who says she feared for the safety of her children.

Bond Ferguson said she and other residents have been warned that the escape monkeys might carry diseases, so she fired her gun. Yes. yet another reason why guns are important but also imagine how weird it would be to be in North America and shooting a monkey in the fucking wild

I guess well because I mean you might be like oh there's there's a nuisance coyote around or something like that or maybe you're just going to go shoot gophers in a field but to just be like be on the lookout for a monkey monkeys here

get Like, get the 303. Blue Jays fell victim to Carney curse. The Blue Jays are victim of the Kearney curse. And they are the other explanations for Rother's Jays lost to Game 7 of the World Series. But the Carney Curse can't be ignored. Yeah. So, I mean, you know, he was in the dug out there.

And then they ended up losing the World Series. I don't know if anybody was watching sports lately in this past week. but God hates the Blue Jays. It looked like they were turning things around and was it the eighth in game six? And then they get all these people on base and then the ball gets wedged underneath the mat. I don't know how many times has that happened.

Like basically never. It was such a weird thing that there was so many people who didn't even know what the call was. And then they lose game seven. and some people are saying it's because Mark Carney went and visited them just like he did. What's that gay pride hockey team? The lubricators. Shoot.

What was it? Remember, we talked about them talking about how they were happy to have that pride tunnel, which I think in their circles also means booty hole. Shoot, I can't. Help me out here. I'm drawing. I'm dying.

Sean, what was that other team that he visited that ended up getting skunked? You've been thinking about this all week, haven't you? Yeah, and I still can't remember the name. What's the name? Majority of Canadians say immigration levels still too high. What's the name, Sean? But confidence growing and Kearney fixing broken system.

A new poll. Sean, what's the name? A new poll says to us. No worries, flames, fans. You got no curse to worry about with Carney. It'll be a decade before you find folks are back at anything meaningful. Oh, that's right. It was the Oilers.

It was the eminent oilers. I mean, I was so close with lubricators. After a year after implementing some seismic policy changes to reduce immigration intakes, the liberals are closing the gap on the opposition in public perception and their ability to handle a system, what many have view is broken and said the abacus data survey, published on the eve of release of Ottawa's 26 to 28 immigration levels plan on Tuesday. Overall, 38% of Canadians favor the conservatives,

the stick handle the issue compared to 29% of the liberals. Yes. So 38 for the conservatives, 29 for the liberals. And yet the headline, majority of Canadians say immigration level is still too high, but confidence growing in carney fixing broken system. The simpler headline would be that the public thinks that the opposition would be doing a better job.

You also missed this was a really needed. Yeah, well, whatever. This happened, yeah, that's also true. This happened like 10 minutes before we went live, so you probably didn't see it. But read that tweet. I can't read it to. Trans, perp who got black,

lesbian, kicked out of gym, broke ex-wife's jaw, and took her name. Is that what it says? That's what it says. That's exactly what it says. That is the headline. Trans-Perp who got black lesbian kicked out of Jim, broke ex-wife's jaw and took her name. Now, I'm guessing this is that video, or follow-up to that video from a few days ago where there was that black woman in the sports bra who was complaining about the

trans dude in the change room and got kicked out of Gold's Gym. Yeah, I just, that's a million dollar headline right there. I guess so. In June, a BBC teleprompter instructed, instructed presenter, Martin, actually just show the video. Just show the video. I don't even know why I'm reading this. I do know, but.

Okay. Now, she was fined for her facial expression. And for those of you, for those of you not watching, you probably should. But here's, you'll, you'll figure out where the facial expression probably came from just by listening to it. London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine has released research,

which says that nearly 600 heat-related deaths are expected in the UK. Malcolm Mystery, who is involved in the research, says that the aged, pregnant people, women, and those with pre-existing health conditions... Got fine for the facial expression. For the facial expression when she said women. Free speech, man.

And you can't even get enough civil. support and excitement going to go to some of the train people and be like, listen, motherfucker, you got to work an hour

late today. What the hell is wrong with you? No wonder you lost. No wonder everybody's leaving your city. No wonder your premier is sending $10 million to a strip club and constantly doing videos where he's eating chocolates and ice cream bars

and pouring out whiskey. You guys are a disgrace. You should be ashamed. You should just leave the country. Just get a big saw like a big Looney Tunes commercial or cartoon and just cut a saw all the way around Toronto and just push it out into one of the lakes, whichever one you're next to. I don't know because you're not important. But just do that and go away. You suck it everything. Happy news, too's. Happy news.
